1. The State Series is designed to determine a State Champion. The State Series is not intended to necessarily advance the best teams in the state to the State Final.

2. Representation in an IHSA State Final Tournament is determined on a geographic basis — that is, schools advancing to the State Final Tournament (or in Boys Football, the State Final Game) qualify from given geographical areas of the state. Pairings for the State Final Tournament are determined every year in a drawing that is open to the media/public.

3. The number of schools in a State Final Tournament, and levels of competition in the State Series, are determined by the number of schools entered in the series.

1. Number of schools entered in state series and their locations; and,

2. Classification of schools in the state series.

3. In individual state series tournaments/meets, the number of schools with full teams assigned to the beginning competition is balanced as much as possible. Travel distance to the tournament/meet site could justify an imbalance in the number of schools assigned to a site.

The goal when assigning for individual sports is to try and bring balance to the number of team entries and individual entries assigned to each site.

Anomalies will exist where a certain geographic area will contain significantly more individuals than teams or vice versa. The Policy allows each administrator some leeway to work through those situations.
